I’m using OpenSSL as a module in PHP (php_openssl), and I need to call
the CGI page may times per second
but the initialization process in RAND_poll is too slow.
I’m thinking to modify OpenSSL to use the rtlGenRandom call available in
XP/2003 Server/Vista OSs

Hi Jack,
I don't have huge issues with it myself (in terms of entropy generation,
CryptGenRandom
has been fairly painless compared to some other mechanisms), but CryptoAPI
is somewhat
big, and there are various annoyances, such as the fact that repeatedly

Presumably RtlGenRandom has always been around, it's just never been

That's an interesting blog article. The 2nd comment
is by the author and lists the entropy sources. I recall there was
discussion on this list quite some time ago where it was stated that OpenSSL
wouldn't use only the CryptoAPI random number generator since Microsoft hadn't
